Hello firsttymum,hows your LO faring?
Did u get a separate bill for hearing test and another for your baby"s physician apart from your hospital bill?

Hearing test is charged differently.

LI:
This reminds me of the lady who was in the news recently for getting embarrassed in the plane by a crew member cos she stayed back at the convenience to pump milk for longer than required.

Go for the nursing drapes, really nice stuffs come in different designs. We have like 3 of them.

that cannot be good.... I don't wanna imagine how embarrassed she'll feel

Hellos firsty. ..
Goto babies r us and search for breastfeeding shawl. ...or Google it. ....I may need to ask DW d name. ..I know I searched for it when there was need four her to breastfeed in public plus d oyinbo iyanga. ..
It's a fitting cloth of diff designs which allows you to breastfeeding on the go comfortably even in public without bothering yourself or anyone. ...
Bear regards

Thanks alot dear.... Regards to wifey and LO

I had to constantly pump to keep up bm supply for my daughter (she was exclusive and I had to go to work). Ive pumped on planes, in cabs, in clients offices midway through meetings, in the car while driving and even a couple of times when I had to quickly get out of the car to buy a few things.
Just invest in a good portable pump with a compact bag and portable storage bag, preferably one thats not too noisy. Make sure the pump can use both battery and electricity. Also get a good handsfree nursing bra and nursing cover. Nobody needs to know what u are doing and if they wonder what is protruding from under your nursing cover thats their business.

If the reason you want to pump is that you are worried about breastfeeding in public though, forget that thing. Its your right. Just drape your blanket and go on. Ive breastfed with my baby in a carrier even while shopping and at parties and nobody has raised an eyelid. I just hang my nursing cover, pop the boob in her mouth and continue with whatever im doing.

wow thanks alot darling. This is elaborately helpful... I'm grateful.

I'm pumping cos I must. Not cos I can't breastfeed in public. God blessed me with excess milk....

favoredgal:
Might be more convenient for you to breastfeed directly o!

Just buy a nursing cover cuz that pumping is a long thing while airborne

I'm over secreting milk so I must pump o.

silverchi:
Good day house,
Pls who has used doc Z of oakbend? do u advise him better than dr F? I am about to make a choice as I have gotten correspondence 4rm both of them...tnx

Use Dr Z mbok.

anonymousmum:
I pumped wella. At least 2ce on each leg of my flight. I set up my pump, and threw on a scarf to cover myself.
If you can, make a special request for plenty of water (at least 300mls for every hour you will be in the air, I am told) on the flight to ensure your flow, as combination of bfeeding and flying can leave you dehydrated.

Ok thanks alot love... I can't cope if I don't pump... Hmmm I don't need water sef... I pump 9oz (260mls) in 10 - 15 mins that's 18 Oz. And I pump my both Bs at d same time.

kiboe:
If u have an eletric pump that uses batteries as well,u can get a handsfree pumping bra and pump away,totally discreet and convenient.

I actually have.... Thanks dear

For those who have to pump milk, did u pump on the plane? if yes how did u do it.

IjayMama:
@firsttymum..pls I need a lil more info ..is it this same pd that handled your baby's circumcision, if not who handled it? And as she's not affiliated with Oakbend, you were able to use her only after you have been discharged?

nope.
I'm doing mine in naija.
Ask Dr E for circumcision. Their quote to me was 150... Buh me and hubby wants real naija circumcision and we don't wanna take chances... We don't want corner "preek".

She's the pediatrician u see post delivery. Erm u r discharged they ask for details of Dr(pediatrician) u wanna see post delivery. Oakbend gives u a letter addressed to the Dr.
This letter contain investigations done, child's birth findings etc.

I will start eating pounded yam constantly.... Since it's one of the myth associated with multiple pregnancy. Lemme do before dey close America gate... Cos if Donald trump wins en....

Hmmm

LI:
Have they changed it back to $300. It used to be $1k.

My card declined at Walmart and Sam's Club. Must be something to do with their machine

na wa o.... Hmmm

MumTee:
@firstymum God bless that Nurse jare, which paediatrics is that o so I can insist on using him/her too, is it our Doc E that appoints the Paed for us? Dollar isn't smilling o, I learnt its now N250 for aboki.

rubina khan with clinicare... Google her. Her number is there too u can call to book appointment. But at the hospital before they discharge ur baby they ask for the info.
It's not our Dr that appoints for us

favoredgal:
Bank? That's a long thing too jor

My bad... Don't know why I read it as hearing test. Is newborn charged separately again?
Isn't it the same as the blood work bill that Browns send

there's another one... Same test but it's to b done before child is 2 Weeks

iolite88:
Welcomed my triplets on the 1st of December to the glory of God got discharged 2 days later from The Hospital of Providence East Campus (El Paso). Mama and baby girls are doing great.

wow

Congratulations dear.... This is great news

favoredgal:
But how do you pay? Don't you need to go to the post office to buy money order?

pay at the bank.

Wait the visa is 2 years? Not one entry?
Kaakaa u dey hear.?

Nd it's not hearing test. It's pku

ozycy:
ETC is cheaper, it's just $270 + $20 shipping fee.
The shipping fee for the passport alone is something else. Some peeps paid more Dan $80 just for shipping alone.

Chai... And it's so convenient u just email ur documents... So no need to go to Usps

Hello house,
Been quiet for sometime no thanks to my last post which was deleted and earned me a 3wk ban.
As it stands now;baby girl was born on 20th Nov.
Doctor fees;2120
All tests;345
Epidural;950(prepaid)
Hospital bill;4200(prepaid)
1st ped visit;150
New born screening(they claim is required by the state of Texas);117
I have gotten birth certificate,social security and baby's passport.only Niger visa is left.
Pls can someone confirm if baby needs a ticket for her nigerian visa application or a travel booking will do

Pediatric first visit for me was 75 dols
Did that new born screening too. But for 12 dols. The nurse assisting the dr( as in take weight et al) insisted I b referred me to memorial hermann she said it was the cheapest and truly it was.

Baby doesn't need a ticket for the Nigerian visa. Urs is enough.
Btw ETC is cheaper.

Kaakaa I see u peeping... Go and sleep

Gtb wan disgrace me yday o....
Pos is 300 dols per day.

MumTee:
Hello Mums, though I don't have an idea what the BC looks like but I have a question.
When filling the BC form, for those of us whose Int passport is in our maiden name despite being married. What name do we fill in the BC form (as the mother) does it allow us to fill both maiden name and married name?

maiden name or name u used before ur first marriage (that's their term). A woman can change many husband's but cannot change her maiden name. So contacting the mother or there won't b issues with Surname change ever.

Nasadiva:

Just a quick question please. Does a baby need to have his eyes opened when taking passport photograph to apply for his US and Nigerian passport. My boy is just 2 weeks old n na for night d guy dey like to shine his eyes.

put a white blanket or bedsheet on ur car seat anytime he opens his eyes quickly snap him. Then take ur phone with ur cable to walgreens, and they will print it for you
